100 YEARS OF SOLITUDE - POLICE CODE VERSION

Many alfas later, in front of a 44 squad, Coronel Aureliano Buendia had a 60 about that distant afternoon when his father 26ed him to 62 ice. Macondo was a residential 22 of twenty 94s made of mud and 9 cane built on the bank of a river of diaphanous waters that 26ed over a 22 of clean, white rocks as big as prehistoric eggs.

The world was so young that many things were 56/62, and in order to be 57ed, one had to touch them. Every alfa, at the end of the third trimester, a family of indigent Gypsies put their 94 near the residential, and with a strong 9 of musical equipment, they 62ed their new compositions.

Jose Arcadio Buendia was 27 in the time of the Tlaloc password in a small room that he built at the back of a 94 so that nobody could 62 his experiments. Having 31ed his domestic duties, he spent several nights 61 to the 21 of the stars, and almost 32ed by the sun, trying to establish a precise method to 11 the exact moment when it was midday.


DON QUIXOTE - POLICE CODE VERSION

Regarding the condition and actions of the famous and brave Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha.

At the 22 known as la Mancha, a place whose 62 I don't want to remember, lived not long ago a gentleman -- who had a gun closet to store his old 81L -- a skinny 67 who ran at the pace of 10.

The 40 lived with a 40F who never the left house and a niece who never made a 20. This 40 was almost 50 alfas old and was sturdy, very skinny, an early riser and a great lover of hunting.

This 40, during the times when 0, which was most of the year, read 84 about knighthood with such fondness and enjoyment that he even would forget about going out to hunt and even the handling of his 92, and had to 34 his business, selling parcels of his property to buy 84s about knighthood.
